Generative Engine Optimization (GEO/AEO)

See where AI cites you — and get the rewrite that fixes it.

Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI before they ask you. If those answers don't name you, you're invisible — and your competitor is already being recommended. MWH makes you the answer.

Search stopped being a list of links.

More than half of searches now end without a click, and AI answers are the reason. People ask an engine, read the answer, and act on whoever it names. Ranking #1 doesn't help if the AI summary above you cites someone else.

This is happening now, not someday. The shift is measurable — and so is the cost of being left out of the answer.

The framework

How you get cited: the CITED framework

Getting cited isn't luck. Peer-reviewed research shows specific content changes lift AI visibility by up to ~40%. We turned that into a five-lever method — the same one our free tool scores you on. No black box.

C

Chunk & Structure

Answer-first blocks and question-based headings an engine can lift cleanly.

I

Inject Evidence

Statistics, named quotes, and citations — the three highest-lift edits in the research.

T

Trust & Authority

Author credentials, first-hand experience, and brand authority engines reward.

E

Entities & Semantics

Defined entities with every claim kept next to what it describes — safe to quote.

D

Discoverability

Schema, clean HTML, llms.txt, and crawler access that make you machine-readable.

Most "AI visibility scores" are a black box. Ours isn't. We publish how every score is computed — the prompt set, the engines, the refresh cadence, and how we detect citations — so you can reproduce it and trust it.

The evidence

Why this works

The method isn't our opinion. A peer-reviewed study from Princeton, Georgia Tech, and the Allen Institute for AI tested it across ~10,000 queries.

Why MWH

What makes us different

Transparent measurement

We publish the prompt set, engines, and refresh cadence. Reproduce our score yourself.

We fix it, not just flag it

You get the rewrite, the schema, and the pages — not a dashboard of problems.

Pipeline, not traffic

We report citation → referral → pipeline influence at Day 28, not vanity metrics.

All engines included

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — standard, no surcharge.

Objections, answered

Straight answers

Isn't this just SEO with a new name?

No. SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of blue links. GEO optimizes for being cited inside an AI-generated answer — a different mechanism with different signals (structure, evidence, schema, entity clarity). A page can rank well and still never be cited; GEO fixes that.

Does GEO actually drive revenue, or just traffic?

Revenue is the point. We track citation to referral to pipeline influence and report at Day 28, not vanity traffic. AI-referred visitors also tend to convert at higher rates because they arrive pre-qualified by the answer that named you.

How do you measure citations?

We run a defined set of buyer-intent prompts across the major AI engines, detect where you and competitors are cited, and track Citation Rate and Share of Voice over time. We publish the prompt-set size, engines, and refresh cadence so the score is reproducible.

Which AI engines do you cover?

All the major ones — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — included as standard. We don't charge extra for Claude or Gemini coverage the way some platforms do.

Will you auto-publish AI content to my site?

Never without review. Auto-publishing AI-generated content straight to a live CMS is a brand-safety risk we deliberately avoid. Everything we produce is genuinely high-quality and human-reviewed before it goes near your site.

Find out where AI cites you — in about a minute.

Run your best page through the free GEO check. See your score, see the rewrite, and decide from there.
